J Would Get Hurt Less if She Would Act More Lady-Like
S unexpectedly pulled into the driveway, got out of the car, returned with children's tylenol, muttered something about how J would get hurt less if she would act more lady-like at school, and then left. So many questions.
Areas with Room for Improvement
"S" is going to church this evening to meet with the session and express some "areas with room for improvement." As relative new comers, we don't have an emotional attachment to the way things are. Some people are just opposed to changing anything. But some things need to change.
Smashing Up Our Car for Fun and Profit
The poor driver's side mirror got into a fight with the garage door. And lost. Meanwhile, the family is gone all day (after I taped the mirror back onto the car), so my work productivity skyrockets.
Lap Swimming, Surgery and Home Schooling
An all-day outing for surgery leaves me at home with the four older kids to get my work done while managing the home school...process. Impressively, there was no crying the entire time. H and I started the day with lap swimming.
Home School PE Class
5am alarm again. 15 minutes later, I got K up. This is his first trip to the gym. We started with 20 minutes on the treadmills. I showed him some weights and machines he might like, but he instead gravitated to the stair-stepper, then the rower, and he finally found a home with a stationary bike.
One Mile in Thirty Minutes
It's just 2mph, but it is surprisingly difficult to maintain that speed for half an hour in a swimming pool. That's the goal though. Ever since work mysteriously asked, "are you a competent swimmer?" I have my motivation to make sure I'm not the weakest link.
Ant-Man is Unwatchable
The home made pizza was ready to go. The kids got their movie going in the basement. S and I sat down to watch the 2023 Ant-Man movie. Eighteen minutes later we agree that the pizza is delicious and that watching nothing would be an improvement.
Existential Homeschooling Crisis
J dusted off and charged her kid camera to join in on the latest camera craze in the Jones household. J has requested that we do a "daddy-daughter walk where we can take pictures together." I mean, who could say "no" to something like that? But, evening was upon us, so it has to wait for tomorrow.
